Blog entry for Feb 17

For this week I signed up for Freenode.net and registered the account likwam29. I also confirmed the registration with the code they sent me in the email. After that I registered the group MattJessicaMatt and had Matt and Jessica check if they could join it. Jessica was having problems with logging on after she confirmed her registration. We couldn't figure out why that was happening before the lab period. While in lab I tried to log into freenode with the account I had made 10 minutes earlier and when I joined the group MattJessicaMatt it would display likwam29, but then the moment I tried to type in the channel it would change my name to Guest[0-9]*. I find freenode extremely frustrating because when I run the /me command it says likwam29, but when I type it displays Guest[0-9]*.

I also finished chapter 13, but since it was just clicking buttons I didn't run into many problems. I learned that Plone involves clicking buttons and then things appear. Kim's presentation also confirmed what I learned from chapter 13.

For next week I will use plone more and try to come up with a contribution my group could add for the team project.
